Oh well. Would have taken 2-1 up at HT before the game. Pochettino will get them and lift them at HT.
Another half like that and we'll have no problems. Could be 5-1. Just got to keep the intensity up. Our concentration before half-time is a real concern though. How many times have we conceded right on half-time like that?
Could be a bad time to concede or could also be a kick up the arse ready for the second half! (not that we needed it, great game.)
Simon Peach: '#SaintsFC have now conceded 18 goals in the 15 minutes immediately before half time after Coutinho makes it 2-1'
Hopefully this game will follow the City game, where we went 2-0 up, City pulled one back just before half time and then Saints came out and scored after half time.
We've concede more between the 30th-45th minute than any other team, by a massive margin. If we played 30 minute halves, we'd be challenging for Europe.
Rickie is bullying their CBs physically, I don't know how he's not getting more fouls from Skrtel, he's all over him. Lallana looking his absolute best, hope this will shut up his doubters! Joe Allen is looking really poor under pressure, and I think a lot of their build up play starts with him Liverpool are really looking dangerous with balls over the top, maybe we should be playing a slightly deeper line and watching our full backs.
Very good first half from yourselves. We looked awful for the whole of the first half and if i'm being honest, we don't deserve to be in this game at all. You punished our awfulness and deserve to be leading. Coutinho's goal sets up the second half nicely though!
Two things that could ruin our season. Defensive lapses, both stupid defensive errors and conceding at bad times in the game. And our shots to goals ratio. This is from the first half: Shots (On Target): Saints 13(7) - Liverpool 4(3)
